Deployment Topology

Key points for SUSE / openSUSE

  • Dual-fabric topology (Fabric A and Fabric B) required for redundancy

  • Each HBA port connects to a separate fabric - never both ports to the same switch

  • Minimum 2 * 2 topology (2 HBA ports * 2 FlashArray controller ports = 4 paths)

  • No IP or network configuration required on the host for FC storage traffic
